Email Received (SMTP)

The Email Received (SMTP) trigger allows you to configure e-mail addresses to receive messages from SMTP e-mail clients, and send the e-mail data to FME Server as JSON.

To use the Email Received (SMTP) trigger, you must first make sure your FME Server is properly configured to receive e-mail. For more information see Configuring FME Server to Receive E-mail.

Note: The Email Received (SMPT) trigger is not supported in a fault tolerant installation of FME Server. Consider using the Email Received (IMAP) trigger instead.

Parameters

  1. Email User Name:
    • To e-mail FME Server directly, enter the user account name to receive the e-mail on the FME Server host system. For example, if the FME Server host name is services.internal, and the e-mail address is user@services.internal, enter user.
    • To e-mail a separate server that relays the e-mail to FME Server, enter the user name of the e-mail address on the e-mail server. For example, if the e-mail address is user@company.com, enter user.
    • Note: A rule must be configured on the e-mail server that relays e-mails for the specified Email User Name on to FME Server. The rule must specify the FME Server machine name and SMTP port. To determine the port, see Configuring for SMTP.

  2. Note: Email addresses cannot be duplicated across Email Received (SMTP) triggers. There must be a unique email address for each Email Received (SMPT) trigger. Email addresses are case-insensitive.

  3. Download Attachments To: (Optional) Specify a location to download any attachments.
    • Select a Resources folder (...).
    • Enter your own location. Directory paths must use forward slashes (/) or escaped backslashes (\\).
